From October 2004 onward, scheduled services using 215 series stock were limited to a small number of weekday ''[[Home Liner]]'' services, with only occasional holiday weekend workings, such as the ''Holiday Rapid View Yamanashi'' on the [[Chūō Main Line]].<ref name="jrr2011"/> The 215 series was ridiculed amongst Japanese railroad fans as the "[[NEET]] Liner" as, besides the occasional limited services, the train was often moved between Shinagawa and Kouzu as an out-of-service train.
With the abolition of the ''Shōnan Liner'' service with the 2021 timetable revision, the 215 series sets were withdrawn from service on 12 March 2021, a day before the timetable revision. No special events were held to mark their withdrawal. No 215 series cars have been preserved, with two sets being scrapped at Nagano General Rolling Stock Center, and two scrapped at the Aomori branch of the Morioka Rolling Stock Center.<ref name="tn29012022">{{cite web |title=あぁ～残念！ 博物館入りすることなく廃車に 悲運なJR東日本の車両3選 |language=Japanese |date=29 January 2022 |url=https://trafficnews.jp/post/114765/3 |website=trafficnews.jp |publisher=Mediavague Co., ltd. |accessdate=30 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220129075843/https://trafficnews.jp/post/114765/3 |archive-date=29 January 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>
